==Physiology == Ogres are apparently large humanoid monsters<ref name="Talia" /> and regularly compared to [[Trolls]], mostly to work out the differences between the two 'monster types'. In that comparison, Ogres are described to be bigger and uglier than Trolls,<ref name="Glossary" /> not being as thick-skinned, as tough and as squat as Trolls and being "more numerous"<ref name="Talia">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/30/interlude-talia/ Interlude - Talia]</ref> (which probably means that Trolls are more likely solitary or in tiny groups, while Ogres have been seen as more social, able to form large groups). Also, Trolls are sometimes magical in their nature, which seems to not occur with Ogres.<ref name="Talia" /> === Appearance === Ogre warriors are large and heavyset, with fat overlaying muscular bodies. They have huge bellies, thick arms, and proportionaly smaller heads.<ref name=":2">{{VERef|Goblin Days (Pt. 3) β Vengeance and Talking}}</ref> Small Ogres may be only six feet tall, larger ones can be ten feet tall (three metres). Being that large, Ogres can swing bastard swords one-handed.<ref name="Talia" /> Their skin tones range from pink to dark brown.<ref name=":2" /> They may appear large like [[Half-Giants]], but their breath has been mentioned unfavorably<ref name="Talia" /> as well as their body odor in general.<ref name="Glossary" /> === Special Abilities and Weaknesses === They, like Antinium, are known to gain magical abilities when they consume several hundred mana potions over long periods of time. Doing so adds to their mana pool, so they drink them not when they're low on mana and need to replenish, but when they're at their vital prime. Ogre spellcasters can use words of power in their language for their casting.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/02/7-43-g/ Chapter 7.43 G]</ref> They may have distinctly less-thick skin than Trolls, but it's still thicker than human skin. Also, Ogres are not above stealing and wearing armor, which makes shooting arrows at them a usually bad strategy unless a good [Skill] can be used. A single Ogre would be considered the same threat level as a single silver-ranked adventurer. On short distances, running Ogres may outpace horses. On longer distances, Ogres can still cover the same distance as a horse per day, when they need to.<ref name="Talia" />In terms of strength, Ogres are stronger than Fomirelins, not accounting for levels and Skills.<ref name=":0" /> Ogres, like [[Raskghar]], are seemingly incapable of leveling and haven't been shown as owners of classes.<ref name="Talia" />
